boring hooks -> viral hooks


Hey Reader,

Can we make 2026 the year we stop using boring hooks?

Instead of: "How to grow on Instagram"
Try: "I stopped doing these 3 things and my Instagram finally grew"

Instead of: "Tips for creators"
Try: "5 mistakes I made as a creator that cost me brand deals"

Instead of: "How to pitch brands"
Try: "I changed ONE line in my pitch and brands started replying"

Instead of: "How to build a work-life balance"
Try: "Why being ‘productive’ was burning me out"

Instead of: "UGC tips"
Try: "Why my UGC wasn’t converting, and what brands actually wanted"

See the difference? Specificity + personal story = people actually stop scrolling.

I spent way too long figuring out this pattern, so I built a custom GPT that does it for you in seconds. Just paste your boring hook, and it transforms it using my exact framework.

All the best,
